as long as they have masterpieces, EV is gonna go down. stores are gonna crack tons of packs to try and get a shiny Chalice or something, and that's going to flood the market with all the good rares and uncommons. this is good if you play constructed, but sucks if you draft a lot (unless you're so lucky that you open a masterpiece or two yourself)...

I did 2HG with my GF. we went 3-1. I had a RB aggro deck and she had a WG midrange deck. we didn't open anything crazy either, but you can rack up wins in sealed with just a smooth curve.
